Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Could you be using a condenser mic?
The VP-550’s MIC jack does not supply phantom power. You’ll need to provide a 
separate phantom power supply unit, or use a dynamic mic instead.

The mic [LEVEL] slider does not aff ect the rear panel [EXT IN] jack.
If your mic is connected to the [EXT IN] jack, use the rear panel [EXT IN] knob to
adjust the mic input level. (

➞ p. 22)

If the [MIX TO MIC] switch is “OFF,” the [LEVEL] indicator will no longer respond 
to the sound from the [EXT IN] jack. In this case, temporarily set the [MIX TO MIC] 
switch “ON” and adjust the input level. (

Increase the mic expression sensitivity (

➞ p. 44). This will allow the Voice Expres-

sion eff ect to start applying when your voice is still at a lower volume.

Could you be operating the Expression pedal?
Advancing the Expression pedal all the way to the maximum position means that
the same eff ect as Voice Expression is already applied to the maximum extent, so
no further eff ect can be obtained.

Lower the mic expression sensitivity (

➞ p. 44). This will prevent the Voice Expres-

sion eff ect from applying until your voice reaches a louder volume.

Lower the mic expression sensitivity (

➞ p. 44). This will decrease the volume

change in Vocal Designer, producing a more stable volume regardless of how 
your voice becomes louder or softer. This will make it easier for you to sing.
